"Gloryland" lyrics
"Gloryland"
Woke up in a fever
To a world gone wrong
Lord, will this nightmare never end?
Seems a ruined nation
Everywhere I go
Locked out at the gates of Gloryland
Shots in the alley
Look down the hall
Every inch of ground is a barren land
Lost tribes of strangers
Scratching at the door
Locked out at the gates of Gloryland
Locked out, just knocking
At the gates of Gloryland
Struck out in the wilderness again
Have mercy Saint Peter
Won't you hurry up and let us in
'Cause we're locked out
Knocking at the gates of Gloryland
People going crazy
Whole world's insane
And it's getting harder
I'll be damned (I'll be damned)
Floodwater rising
With poison rain
Locked out
At the gates of Gloryland
Locked out, just knocking
At the gates of Gloryland
Struck out in the wilderness again
Have mercy Saint Peter
Won't you hurry up and let us in
'Cause we're locked out
Knocking at the gates of Gloryland
Oh, there's a raging fever
Going around
Leaving only footprints in the sand
Hey, and every man's a prisoner
Doing his own time
Locked out at the gates of Gloryland
Locked out, just knocking
At the gates of Gloryland
Struck out in the wilderness again
Have mercy Saint Peter
Won't you hurry up and let us in
'Cause we're locked out
Knocking at the gates of Gloryland
'Cause we're locked out
Knocking at the gates of Gloryland
